Bold and Beautiful

BOLD I made them majestic people from the land that formed. Strength courageous in the way they have overcome. Lack procrastination they continue their journey. Today they are mystical when their history is the conversation. Say what you want they will move forward. Economical will be their glory. Many suggest they will never be anything other than maritime people. Life will show all they are the people from the sea. They swam like whale and fought as a shark. Whoever speak ill about them needs to shut-up. This is their topography and their origin. I wrote a verse of folktale and one to entice. I told you to travel to their land and spend the night. I said your endeavors are what you take on. Spend more than one night stay all week long. Go fishing, canoe, hunt deer, gather wood, and when night comes, light a fire and sleep good. Defy your own knowledge of safe. Be a daredevil take a risk. When all is over and you ready to return home, reflect on the enrichment. Be bold and beautiful!

I much prefer this piece, I feel you here. I think in many ways Native people are misunderstood. In our country we keep pouring out money but it does not change people's circumstances. The chiefs and there governments which they have put in place prosper beyond measure and those who are in true need continue to live in third world conditions.

"Be a daredevil, take a risk!" I love it, Verlena! So many people play it safe in life and never get to realize the huge payoffs that come when we assume a bit of risk, step out there, and allow life to stretch us a bit! Great read. Many thanks. Enjoyed this over my coffee this morning!
